Jeroen Prinse
Summary:
In his presentation, he will take the audience (you) with him on his quest to implement a Secure DevOps program in large organizations. He will share his epic failures and successes and provide the audience with actionable insights they can take on their Secure DevOps journey to prevent common pitfalls.

The presentation will cover anything from the needed culture change within organizations and with security officers/CISOs to tool selection, implementation and configuration and anything that can go wrong. All experiences are based on real-life events, which gives the perfect opportunity to explain the failures and how they were solved.
It will not be an in-depth technical presentation but with storytelling challenging the thinking of/and inspiring the audience regarding Secure DevOps/Agile information security. He will engage with the audience to share their pitfalls and successes and provide a learning experience for all attendees.

While enabling organizations to do business by automating information security as much as possible and changing security from compliance to a service.

Bryan Soman and Wouter de Meijer
Summary:
Bryan and Wouter were given the opportunity to establish a DevSecOps approach from scratch at a mid-size Agile development agency. After a while, they went on separate journeys experiencing new challenges.
They want to share the most impactful moments they experienced from their combined total of 10 years DevSecOps experience and identify experiences, difficulties and successes together with the audience.
Their journey was challenging, with many failures and lessons learned. They tried their best to properly plant the ‘Seeds’ of DevSecOps. It was hard to validate the effectiveness and they sometimes had no clue if they were doing the right things.
But at certain stages in their journey, there were impactful moments and ‘Seeds’ of DevSecOps finally came to fruition!
They will engage the audience using interactive elements to share tips/tricks, cool open source projects and initiatives to continuously improve DevSecOps together.
In the end there might be something tangible that you can use in your daily work.

Bio:
Wouter de Meijer changed from a developer role to Security Specialist at Worth Internet Systems and now enables DevSecOps in Agile Scrum development teams. He uses the experiences gained in both fields to bridge the gap between the development and security effectively.

Bryan Soman is an experienced Pentester that became a DevSecOps Specialist. He realised he likes to work closely with DevOps teams to implement DevSecOps best practices with ShiftLeft philosophy in mind rather than doing pentesting. His mission is to continuously enable, inspire and guide DevOps teams with Security.
